In the wake of the deaths of Andrew and Mark Madoff, their wives were left to deal with the fallout of father-in-law Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme. In a 2012 lawsuit to help pay back Madoff's victims, Mark's ex-wife, Susan Elkin, was sued for $2.4 million, and his widow, Stephanie Mack, for $27.5 million, while Andrew's ex-wife, Deborah Madoff, was sued for $27.7 million, according to the LA Times. However, the three women were dropped from the suit "under confidential terms," per The Philadelphia Inquirer. In 2017, the sons' estate reached an agreement with U.S. government, and they handed over $23 million to victims affected by the scheme, leaving Mark's family with $1.75 million and Andrew's with $2 million.

As for Andrew's fiancĂ©e Catherine Hooper, she was allegedly supposed to get a cut of the $16 million in his will, but the funds were tied up in lawsuits pertaining to the Ponzi scheme. "I downsized my life completely and sold nearly everything I own including the engagement ring that Andrew gave me," she told People in May 2017, revealing she and her daughter sleep in bunk beds in a 500 square-foot apartment. "the adjustment in lifestyle is completely insignificant compared to the pain of losing him."

Asides from Hooper, Stephanie Mack previously shared her story in a 2011 memoir, however, she and the rest of the family have tried to move on and have stayed out of the spotlight since.
